What are some mythologies Kratos can't beat?
>most gods are of menial things
>even major players were spawned from actual shit
>their own Emperor disowned them
Shinto Gods are extremely low tier. Kratos wins easily. Put him against the Buddhist Pantheon instead
Lovecraftian
Can Kratos defeat the skeletal futa demons with stars for joints and snakes for penises that consume everything if the sacrifices aren't upheld from Aztec Mythology?
>Buddhism
>not Hindu
oh wait that already happened
If you've ever read Journey to the West than you know the Buddha is on some next level shit.
Mesoamerican mythology (Mayan Aztec) would totally fuck Krato's shit up.
I want a GoW set in Egypt
>art shows epic battle between a god and dragon
>in the actual myth the god just got the dragon drunk and then decapitated it
Why aren't there more games about getting bosses drunk and then killing them while they sleep?
Aztec mythology is fucking crazy, man.
>In Aztec mythology and religion, Xipe Totec or Xipetotec ("Our Lord the Flayed One") was a life-death-rebirth deity, god of agriculture, vegetation, the east, disease, spring, goldsmiths, silversmiths, liberation and the seaso
>Xipe Totec connected agricultural renewal with warfare.[8] He flayed himself to give food to humanity, symbolic of the way maize seeds lose their outer layer before germination and of snakes shedding their skin. Without his skin, he was depicted as a golden god. Xipe Totec was believed by the Aztecs to be the god that invented war....Xipe Totec is associated with pimples, inflammation and eye diseases,[11][12] and possibly plague.
>Annually, slaves or captives were selected as sacrifices to Xipe Totec. After having the heart cut out, the body was carefully flayed to produce a nearly whole skin which was then worn by the priests for twenty days during the fertility rituals that followed the sacrifice.This act of putting on new skin was a ceremony called 'Neteotquiliztli' translating to "impersonation of a god". The skins were often adorned with bright feathers and gold jewellery when worn. During the festival, victorious warriors wearing flayed skins carried out mock skirmishes throughout Tenochtitlan, they passed through the city begging alms and blessed whoever gave them food or other offerings.[6] When the twenty-day festival was over, the flayed skins were removed and stored in special containers with tight-fitting lids designed to stop the stench of putrefaction from escaping. These containers were then stored in a chamber beneath the temple.
>In Aztec mythology, a Tzitzimitl is a deity associated with stars. They were depicted as skeletal female figures wearing skirts often with skull and crossbone designs.
>The Tzitzimimeh were also associated with the stars and especially the stars that can be seen around the Sun during a solar eclipse. This was interpreted as the Tzitzimimeh attacking the Sun, this caused the belief that during a solar eclipse, the tzitzimime would descend to the earth and devour human beings. The Tzitzimimeh were also feared during other ominous periods of the Aztec world, such as during the five unlucky days called Nemontemi which marked an unstable period of the year count, and during the New Fire ceremony marking the beginning of a new calendar round - both were periods associated with the fear of change.
>She is represented as a woman wearing a skirt of writhing snakes and a necklace made of human hearts, hands, and skulls. Her feet and hands are adorned with claws and her breasts are depicted as hanging flaccid from pregnancy. Her face is formed by two facing serpents (after her head was cut off and the blood spurt forth from her neck in the form of two gigantic serpents),referring to the myth that she was sacrificed during the beginning of the present creation.
>According to Aztec legend, she was once magically impregnated by a ball of feathers that fell on her while she was sweeping a temple, and subsequently gave birth to the gods Quetzalcoatl and Xolotl. Her daughter Coyolxauhqui then rallied Coatlicue's four hundred other children together and goaded them into attacking and decapitating their mother. The instant she was killed, the god Huitzilopochtli suddenly emerged from her womb fully grown and armed for battle. He killed many of his brothers and sisters, including Coyolxauhqui, whose head he cut off and threw into the sky to become the moon.
The problem with Kratos is that the term 'God' in his universe doesn't mean omnipotence or anything close to it. The gods he kill don't have any impressive feats and they get killed by attacks that aren't even planet level. Hades gets hurt by a ceiling, they can get their necks snapped no anti-god weapons even necessary most of the time. The feats shown in the GoW games are extremely underwhelming compared to a lot of other videogame series. There are some universal level beings in the GoW lore but overall its just a meh verse.
One More God Rejected!
Kratos can't kill any non white mythology gods because PlayStation would get spitroasted by having a literal white man destroy pantheon of color
He can't defeat kindness and forgiveness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
No one even attempts to put Kratos against the Abrahamic monotheistic God, for that reason. "Attacks" don't have any meaning to a being who exists outside of the material universe and is not bound by time or causality (both existing within the natural world which God is transcendent of). Kratos "fighting" God would be like Sauron "fighting" JRR Tolkien.
>Be God
>Creator and sustainer of everything that exists including Kratos
>Stop giving life to Kratos
>Kratos is defeated
This. Asura's Wrath has gods that are actually planet-buster tier shit. Kratos in the original trilogy can kill gods with his bare hands; he's above most humans but not some unstoppable omnipotent force.
True.
Pretty much this. Besides, Abrahamic God is so truly omnipotent that there's really nothing you could really focus on even if you scaled him down. Maybe the flood and the plagues or something like that, but those are representative of him having total power over the material universe.
It's much cooler to have pantheons which are above humanity but fallible and killable.
Hindu mythology. Shit reads like 'that kid' came up with a religion, then passed it through various google filters before finally returning to english.
>The Brahmadanda is capable of nullifying the effects of any divine weapon, no matter how destructive. If hurled, the impact of this weapon is excruciatingly lethal to even the celestials.
>Kaladanda was the ultimate weapon; once fired it would kill anybody before it no matter what boons he had to protect himself.
>Ekasha Gada - The mace of Lord Shiva. A blow from the weapon is the equivalent of being hit by a million elephants.
>Brahmanda Astra - It is said in the epic Mahabharata that the weapon manifests with the all five heads of Lord Brahma as its tip. Brahma earlier lost his fifth head when he fought with Lord Shiva. This weapon is said to possess the power to destroy entire solar system or Brahmand, the 14 realms according to Hindu cosmology.
>Samvarta Astra - Weapon belonging to Yama. Used by Emperor Bharata to annihilate thirty million gandharvas (low ranking celestials) in a moment, tearing them to pieces.
>Vaishnavastra - The most powerful weapon of Lord Vishnu - capable of destroying universe completely
>Arrow of Shiva - It can destroy creation. Returns to the quiver after being used.
Jesus. If Kratos kills him, Jesus wins.
>inb4 Kratos is actually God's angel of death (albeit unknowingly), sent to slaughter the pantheons that would dare challenge his rule.
>Jesus boss fight
>Kill him
>Boss music still plays
>Eventually he arises
>Fight him again
>Kill him
>Boss music STILL playing
>Eventually arises again
>Keeps going until you lose
Woooooow
>Nostradamus
Still wondering how the fuck he's going to fight. Even Huang was the dude with the Terracotta Soldiers in his burial site so he'll probably use that.
That would be pretty cool actually.
Chinese mythology, I reckon. The Monkey King is one of the few mythological characters who has actual canonical 'stats' and examples of feats he's performed, and as far as I know Kratos has come nowhere near any of them.
>Capable of carrying 'two celestial mountains' while 'running at the speed of a meteor'.
>Can travel over 50,000 miles in one jump.
>Can transform into a bunch of animals and objects.
>Is possibly the most skilled fighter in all of Chinese mythology, capable of beating all the greatest warriors of heaven.
>Can summon clones of himself and weapons by plucking out single hairs from his body.
>His weapon, the Golden-Banded Staff, can change to pretty much any size, elongate to pretty much any length, can fly, and can fight on its own according to Monkey King's will.
>Wiped his name out of the book of life and death, so Hell can't claim him.
>Achieved five different methods of immortality, making him functionally ageless and invincible.
>It took several of the greatest gods in Taoist and Buddhist mythologies to capture him, and they couldn't kill him permanently.
>Single-handedly defeated Heaven's entire army and most of its gods, consisting of over 100,000 celestial warriors.
>Eventually granted Buddhahood and becomes enlightened after Journey to the West.
There's also at least one 'general of heaven' who's equal to Monkey King in combat ability, but not in other areas.
Kratos wouldn't stand a chance against him, desu. It would be fucking cool to see him get his ass handed to him by a cocksure monkey though.
It's the logical conclusion of Guardian Ape combined with the unwinnable boss. Problem is it'd only be rad the first playthrough. Later playthroughs you'd just let him kill you to save time UNLESS you were going for a record number of kills before losing.
Even if they somehow put him against the God of Abraham, people would bomb the offices of the devs/publishers, effectively killing Kratos on a meta level.
*dabs on u*
Wu Kong is not actually mythological, he's a novel character.
Bruh imagine if they made a game portraying Muhammad as an enemy. I mean portraying him visually is a death sentence already.
I'm kinda curious to see how Kratos fares against Norse Mythology, desu.
Bear in mind that Baldr was never considered a fighting god in Germanic Mythology, he was only known for being 'immortal' and incredibly beautiful and fair.
I know that, for game's sake, Kratos probably gonna win, but considering Baldr wasn't even known for being a fighter, I reckon Thor could very will kick Kratos' ass, and let's not even get into Odin, or Fenrir.
There's also a little-known norse god by the name of Vidarr who survives Ragnarok and avenges Odin by killing Fenrir. Not much is known about him, but he's considered the god of vengeance and everything we know points to him being absolutely fucking beast.
The parallels between Vidarr and Kratos shouldn't be lost on anyone, and I hope they use it for the games to its full potential. If anyone can really push Kratos to his absolute limits, I reckon it should be fuckin' Vidarr.
Reminder that there's another survivor of Ragnarok and it's the fucking dragon eating at Yggdrasil, the one born from the poison that killed Thor, the one who is too strong to be stopped by anyone, the fucking unstoppable beast that will outlive everyone.
Wukong predates the novel. He's based on ancient Chinese folklore.
He looks so tired.
>Game about Norse mythology
>Can't transform into a mare and be fucked
I believe, just like Lif and Lifthrasir are meant to begin the human race again after Ragnarok, Vidarr is kind of painted as the next 'Odin' in the new world.
Magni also survived the Ragnarok.
He's the one who will inherit Mjolnnir and was already stronger than his father when he was only 3y.o.
>Game about Greek mythology
>Zeus transform into an animal and fuck literally whatever he feels like
It's also implied in some versions that he turns over a new leaf and becomes a gud goi.
Thanks for ruining the thread you fucking degenerate fag.
Following GOW3 I was almost certain we would get God of Egypt and be fighting anubis, thoth, horus,etc. And presumably with a new lead with some new motivation. But instead we got The Last of Us of War. WTF.
>Assassin's Creed did fighting Egyptian gods instead
Weird timeline we're in.
Ah I remember pre-release when people thought Atreus was Kratos' wife's son. I'm glad they didn't cuck my boy Kratos like that.
Kratos supposed to be Bishamonten. That kills everything, because their time is up.
Egyptian Mythology is sorta weirder than Norse or Greek mythology. There is no real good or evil, just Law and Chaos. Ma'at is the embodiment of Order, Apep is Chaos.
Kratos is literally black, is just ash making him pale.
Muscle Jesus
That's not actual mythology
It honestly me surprises me that there hasn’t been a big budget game based around Sun Wukong made yet. His story is literally set up like a video game.
>It honestly me surprises me that there hasn’t been a big budget game based around Sun Wukong made yet.
Last year there was a Monkey King game that came out but it was one of those $40 releases and it dropped price somewhat quick. Also, technically Enslaved had some loose inspiration and had some budget behind it, but
>Ninja Theory
>Abrahamic God is so truly omnipotent
Not even in his own text
Wasn’t that the original plan?
>What is the first sentence of the Bible
Didn't Zues once turn himself into a Golden Cloud that rained piss on some woman in a cell or something and that counted as sex?
>What does omnipotent mean?
What is your objection to God's omnipotence?
Nidhogg?
Anyone else think GoW 5 will take place after a big time skip? I just don’t really see a game where Atreus is a kid.
There are times in the Bible where God doesn't know things and can't do things.
Literally any Hindu god. Shits absolutely insane.
>tfw no Egyptian-based sequel trilogy to God of War where Akhenaten enlists Kratos to hunt down the majority of the pantheon
Such as?
Unbelievably based
Yes.
>Genesis 3:8-13 – Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord, amongst the trees of the garden, and God had to go find them, and then asks them questions.
>And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron. Judges 1:19
There's more examples.
And yet he’s scared shitless of Hera any time she finds out about his exploits.
>the Bogdanoffs ruled egypt 5,000 years ago
Kek, weak as fuck.
Adam was a chad.
Because she's a nagger.
